This is a big risk IMO. All the road projects in J&K hilly areas have a bad history of delays and cost overruns. Earlier also, projects here have taken a huge toll on financial health of the EPC contractors like Gammon, HCC and Afcons (SP Group). The Chenani Banihal section of the National Highway has been under construction for 15 years now. It was originally stated for completing in 2015 as far as I recall. The company needs to diversify into easier projects in the plains.
